  Cause:
  
  Long Activation Time: The activation process may take longer than expected due to a large volume of data or complex transformations.

  Solution:
  
  Check Activation Status: Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check the status of the activation. Look for any messages or logs that indicate the current state.
